Saw **Techchick68’s** name as the thread starter, read the title, _knew_ what this would be about. I’m waiting for “Golfing with SPOOFE” to grace the Sunday afternoon sportsathon on my TV. No swimming, please.

(Didn’t anybody tell these guys about Tug-Ahoy?)

Another bunch of guys pulling a bus with their schlongs tied to ropes…The truly talented don’t need the ropes.

In the sense of Mills Lang or Marvin Gaye?

I apologize in advance. I just came from the Flava Flav thread. I can’t help myself and it’s all my father’s fault.

But aren’t these guys a bit cocky thinking they can get away with this?

Yep, but the view is magnificent from here.

[I never saw that in any Hong Kong kung fu movies.]

You haven’t watched the right Kung Fu movies :X

I think I figured out the “why” though… they’re gearing up for this: [http://fathom.org/opalcat/livejournal/censored.jpg](http://fathom.org/opalcat/livejournal/censored.jpg)

Great balls o’ fire ('scuse the expression)!

::sentimental sniff::

Alert Dopers pursue the Fight Against Ignorance in oh, so many strange ways. And this is one of the strangest.

What Iron Chef does to food, this does to car commercials. Oh, c’mon, try _not_ to think, “like a rock…Ram tough!..this was a _very_ good washing machine!”

Or maybe just dubious exercise equipment. Sheesh, wimpy Occidentals worry about buns and abs of steel!
